The sleeve didn't get finished yesterday, but I ripped back to the fair isle section and fixed the garter rib. I'll finish that sleeve today then I'll try to get all the ends woven in and the seaming done tomorrow, block it on Thursday, and it's ready for Friday!!!

However, it's a known fact that I am not a one project at a time person (even on deadline), so here's something else:

An other shawl... seems like a good time of year for them, I guess (sweaters are too warm to work on). That's the Diamond Fantasy Shawl in one of Fearless Fiber's superwash sock yarn.

So as usual, I'm knitting on too many projects (and I'm still crocheting away on my crochet lace shawl), but must buckle down and get that fair isle sweater done.

  1. I can't believe you fixed that rib! You are a better knitter than I !!
    The diamond fantasy shawl is close to the top of my list for 'knit-next' - I might wait until the weather warms up here though. It is such a lovely pattern.
